be less complaint in all departments OF
the household.
It is not reasonable to expect the maid
in the kitchen TO rise higher in the moral
scale than the mistress in the par
lor, and yet women sre constantly
complaining of the shiftless way in
which the work is done, assigning
as g reason, the fact that the maid looks
upon the work SIS degrading, has no in
terest Fin it, and is looking about con-
stantly for some escape from position
which she considers beneath her. II
mother and daughter lind no pleasure in
the labor CT providing for the comfort of
the family, and blush TO be caught 81
work, can more be expected of her who is
only paid servitor?
No one who Is acquainted with the daily
recurring duties Of the household will for
q moment deny that they are absorbing
and mOnotonOus, and where ell the labor,
as is frequently the case in this country,
devOIVeS on the women Of the family
there is little time left for mental i'm
provement or social enjoyment; still,
however, the fact remains that if these
women viii systematic their work, study
the best methods, persistently avoid the
unnecessary labor that is prompted by
love OF display many precious moments
can be saved, to satisfy the cravings of
their mental nature.
The trouble is, women do not put their
heads to work, but leave their hands and
feet TO do the labor without
plan or purpose. In order
to prove this it is hardly necessary to
to particularize, for once the attention is
directed TO it, any woman of sense will
see many instances to eXemplify the truth
OF the assertion that women do not
think about their work; take for eX-
ample, so simple thing es cleaning the
table after meal. How many times do
the weary feet 90 back and forth q dish
al time, when il the hesd said, "6riDg
tray, sCrape and pile the dishes in it that
are TO be washed, and let the hands have
one burden, then return and refill with
such feed as Is to be put away, brush
the crumbs, fold the cloth and the table
/ is cleared" there would be less crying
out OF the tired members against the
head. Thought is needed in parlOr end
in bedroom, upstairs and down, at ell
times and in all places. Each day brings
its peculiar duties, and each day glides
away the more easily If the head has
done It's share in tightening the weeks
labor.
The father fits his son to take his place
in the busy outdoor world, and is there,
can there be any right reason that the
daughter should not be fitted for her in
door business? Neither is it necessary
that she be incompetent by virtue Of do
nestle training for her plsce in the
worlds wider sphere. The hsb-
It's OF system, order, industry
and thOrOughness taught at home Will
follow her into other fields, and she will
be Z better student for the methods
adopted in her childhood, and mothers
lessons in domestic economy will not be
lost when engaged il more strictly intel
leCtual pursuits.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the noble women OF to-day, who with
thorough knowledge and in charming
style, are giving their time and influence
TO the better education of the housekeep-
ers of the land, Miss PArlOa, Julia Car
son, Marion Harlsnd, Catherine Owen
and many others, deserve TO be regarded |
as benefaCtTesses of the race, for if he be
philanthrOphist who makes two blades
Of grass to grow where one grew before,
what may not be said of her who by the
inspiration of her words incites the wO-
men of her land to emulation in the bust /
ness of home making and home keeping: !
And when women know their business !
there will be less strain upon their
nerves, and less talk of "broken down" !
women.
Let the daughters be trained in habits I
OF useful activity, and bring into their
new homes knowledge of their duties, !
and the husbands love will be ss easily |
